Ok Google sms messages fail to send. - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had this problem for a while and I i can't actually recall if it ever worked. Now with a Android Wear watch the issue is extremely noticeable since it hinders the use of one of its main features.
I have OK google from any screen and even when locked but for some reason when i tell it to send an sms it will do it BUT the recipient never receives it.
It creates the sms on my phone but the recipient never gets it.
Maybe its my texting app but i have used Stock, Google, Hangouts, Textra. None of them seem to send through the "OK google command."
Any one able to offer some insight on this issue?
If some one has it working on their note maybe list what sms app you are using.
update: When I use google now it appears to be sending to the right number but it has a "011" in front of it which is why it isnt working.

I've tried almost all...
Verizon message+ works the best sms and mms. hands down

Your saying that when you say "OK google > Text my xxx > Hello" that it actually sends no issue? I've been using message+ for a month now and it has never worked with Google Now/ Ok Google command.

yes

Do you have the default samsung messages disabled or is it still there?

yes I have it frozen

I have reinstalled Google search, android wear, play services, reset my watch.
I have deleted all of my other texting apps except messages+. I have also disabled the default Samsung sms app.
Will still nothing works. The text shows up as sent but nothing is actually sent.
I think it may have to do with the default settings but my messaging app is not listed because when I chose Google voice it did send via Google voice. When I chose messaging it said it sent but it never did.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy S5 and it's driving me crazy.

I'm having a similar problem with my moto 360 and Note 4 DE.
What is kind of weird is I can send my friend (or myself) a message from my watch to their Iphone, but I can't send my wife a message on her S4. I noticed she just received an update not too long ago and was thinking the problem was somehow with her phone or newer version of android wear. However, I am curious to see what people find out.
Edit: I further thought it was my wife's phone as she has had problems lately of sending double text and her sent text showing up after she recieves a reply. In case any one is wondering her phone is a stock Verizon Galaxy S4.
FYI I am using Google Messenger.

Thats almost definitely it. It a setting you can change in Google voice.
Sounds like you have Google Voice.
I believe this has something to do with Google Voice's Call Presentation settings. Turning it off makes it so that the first phone to pick up an incoming call, will automatically answer it.
I've uninstalled it before and relized that stock voicemail blows donkey...but I will try it again.

You can either set it up for just voicemail or you can use the full integration of Google Voice. The full integration enables you to screen calls, block unwanted phone numbers from calling you, handling your SMS traffic and a bunch of other things.
It sounds like you have the full integration enabled.
Yup, definitely Google voice. Log into you account via a computer and go through the settings and you'll see it there.
Like everyone else said gvoice change it online

Settings/calls/voice screening •OFF
Its should be off by default. It took me forever to figure that out.
Edit: Yea I ment its on by default, but should be set off and to switch it on if you wanted that feature.

Nope. It's set to on by default--which, I think, is a bad idea. Most people automatically hang up when they get anything resembling a voicemail so I ended up having to call people back because of that feature. I quickly turned it off. Voice is otherwise great, though.
Yes I noticed I get alot of 3 sec voice mails. Thx all

Gotta love the Google Voicemail to text.

Sprint and Google voice

I have been restoring a titanium backup of voice for a long time but being the happy new owner of a GNex I Installed fresh from the market. It didnt ask about the google voice number integration (the part we all skipped) Did I miss something or have they changed something. I also remember it asking about texting but now it only asks about calls. Can someone confirm. Thanks
Bump

I'm not sure what your question is? Do you or don't you want the integration? Are you having problems making or receiving calls or texts?

I dont want integration I just remember having to skip that part and now it no longer asks. I just wanted to verify with someone who has set it up recently that they removed that part. also if someone who JUST uses it for voicemail only would check their settings within voice > sync and notifications > it says receive texts via google voice app (which was another step which was missing I didnt choose that option upon expanding it the choices are that and via the messaging app. I do not want google voice to do anything but voicemails and the new app dosent appear to have the previous steps to deselect those options. I was just looking for verification
Thanks
also on the sprint GNex I recieve a flashing led upon rec of a voicemail but do not have the flashing led with a new text can someone verify this as well Thanks agn
Edit
I chaged the setting to receive texts via the messaging app and now i get a flashing indicator weird
U can select it to receive text also but it doesn't automatically integrate....have to go into settings and check it....

Google Now 'send text with voice' is not working with Google Voice

Is anyone else running into a problem when trying to use Google Voice to send a SMS via Google Now?
I can get a card to pop up with the Contact, but when I click 'Send Message' it just returns a blank area where a card should be.
Messaging works fine. Google Voice (which is what I use) does not.

ditto on that. It all looks like it's going to send and lets you select voice or messaging, but when it is sent it goes to a blank card and when I check SMS inside voice it shows nothing sent.
Broken!

You guys are right... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone with this. Wonder if anyone with proper jb builds (I/O attendees) are the same issue.

They are running the same build we are.
It's mostly curious that it worked fine before, but not now. Surely will be fixed soon enough. Just waiting on that day where I can easily get google voice sms read to me and responses dictated back well for the whole hands free deal.
Still seeing this
Hey, I'm on a brand-new, un-rooted, unmodified Galaxy Nexus, that was updated to OTA Jellybean yesterday. This is still broken for me. Looks like it should work but doesn't send the message, just stays on the Google now view with a big blank space. It won't let me post links (too new), but there's an issue over on Google Code Android space. Plus there's the bug that the auto-response texts (when a call is missed), won't send through GV either. Only Messaging. Lame Google. Why create GV with those features, if you're not going to integrate it all the way? They really need a setting that's "take over all SMS/MMS functionality" and if you turn it on, Messaging is effectively disabled, as all it does is handed off to GV.
It'll help if everyone stars and/or comments on these issues there, unfortunately I can't link to them, until I post like 8 more times.
I have the same problem
Unrooted unmodified Galaxy nexus with the ota jb
Any more info on this issue?
I was a big user of this feature in android 4.0 they broke it in 4.1 and here it is Months later I have the same problem. Google voice is even a Google made app. It should work. Its a big bummer for me because I do not pay for a regular texting plan.
I know this thread is a few months old and that why im using it because i have a question about google now and to see if the bugs that some mention here are gone.
Does google now allow you to send a text message to someone? From a screenshoot before it looks like it, but i don't find much info on it and i was looking for something that would work like siri, by reading back text messages and let us ditact them. If this indeed works, does it work well?
In terms of searching, google now seems to be better than siri and faster in a lot of ways, but i really wanted these text features that are useful when driving, as well as calling someone from the contacts list, send an email or put something on the calender(this one i have seen in a video and it seems like it worked well). Siri does all of this, so i was wondering if Android has a service that matches it.

[Q] Page Plus Text message bug.

Hi all,
a couple of months ago i flashed my E4GT to Page Plus. I didnt use any online guide to do the flash. i used a program called CDMA Flasher. the ONLY issue i have had is that for some reason, if i get a long text message (<160 characters) from anyone the entire text message is corrupt, and splits into several parts(ie <160 characters gives me 2 msgs, <320 characters gets me 3 msgs and so on and so forth).
has ANYONE else come across this bug. if so do you know how to fix it?
What exactly do you mean by corrupt? Android default splits sms after 160 characters, so it's not a bug.

and yes i know that android default splits at 160. i know that the split is not the bug. its the corrupt text.
EDIT: for some reason unbeknown to me i decided to send myself a long text msg.....and it came out just fine. now i BELIEVE that every one who has ever sent me long text messages are either pageplus, or verizon customers. could this be a setting in my phone that didnt get set up right during the flash?

This might be unrelated...but.
I rooted my mothers huaweii ascend 2 and put a little better ROM on it...after this , when she would send a text over 160 characters it would look just like you're post , when received. So I went in to the messaging settings and saw that the option to split the text after 160 was not checked. So I checked it and the problem went away...
Maybe this will work for you.
I think there's an Xposed Framework module to override the Splitting
I've seen the same problem, mostly from ios users. That bug also happens when the person sends special characters like @ $ & »« ñ ¿ etc.

well being as im on a stock rom i dont think it has anything to do with which rom you are running. is it possible that the mms settings are wrong?
This is caused by the lack of Unicode support on this phone. Sprint must translate it as it passes through teir system, but now that your phone is flashed to Page Plus (Verizon) messages received with more than 160 characters blow up.

Text Messages linking to Calendar

This may not be note 10 specific but I know this didn't occur on my Note 9. I've noticed since last night when I started texted with my note 10 that any text I send with "today" "tonight" "Tomorrow" Upon sending the text message the word becomes a link to create a new calendar item. Thus far I've been unable to find a way to turn this off. Has anyone else noticed this? If so has anyone found a way to stop this behavior?

No change unfortunately. Had tried that already and just tried it a second time after your suggestion.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? It's super annoying. Happens with both the Samsung messaging app and the Google messaging app on my S10e.

Thanks.... but was asking about SMS text messages, the subject of this thread.
For me it's under calendar itself.
Go into calendar settings or app settings for calendar and clear it's data and restart the calendar setup.

Yes, i know what's your subject of thread.
However, above info etc,
was my fix to my "problem",
when i had similar issues .
I found that it was my G calendar was recording Sms.... , email etc, everything, that had references to dates, days etc.!
and as my Samsung and Google calendars are linked,
it appeared in both calendars, as events etc.....!
Bottom line,
If my fix /info, does not apply to you or fix issues.... just ignore !
Good luck
I see. Thanks. I can't find any setting in my calendars that is linking to gmail or SMS. And it happens only on the stock Samsung and Google messages apps, not 3rd party SMS apps like Textra or Handcent. So I assume it's something related to the SMS apps...
